Function can be preempted! // test_fw_config->reqs can change between the release of // the lock about and acquire of the lock in the // test_dev_config_update_u8() rc = test_dev_config_update_u8(buf, count, &test_fw_config->num_requests); out: return rc; } static ssize_t config_read_fw_idx_store(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, const char *buf, size_t count) { return test_dev_config_update_u8(buf, count, &test_fw_config->read_fw_idx); } The function test_dev_config_update_u8() is called from both the locked and the unlocked context, function config_num_requests_store() and config_read_fw_idx_store() which can both be called asynchronously as they are driver's methods, while test_dev_config_update_u8() and siblings change their argument pointed to by u8 *cfg or similar pointer. To avoid deadlock on test_fw_mutex, the lock is dropped before calling test_dev_config_update_u8() and re-acquired within test_dev_config_update_u8() itself, but alas this creates a race condition. Having two locks wouldn't assure a race-proof mutual exclusion. This situation is best avoided by the introduction of a new, unlocked function __test_dev_config_update_u8() which can be called from the locked context and reducing test_dev_config_update_u8() to: static int test_dev_config_update_u8(const char *buf, size_t size, u8 *cfg) { int ret; mutex_lock(&test_fw_mutex); ret = __test_dev_config_update_u8(buf, size, cfg); mutex_unlock(&test_fw_mutex); return ret; } doing the locking and calling the unlocked primitive, which enables both locked and unlocked versions without duplication of code.
